General physics : mechanics

Description

The aim of the general physics course is to provide students with the basic concepts necessary for understanding physical phenomena. The objective is achieved when students are able to quantitatively predict the consequences of these phenomena using appropriate theoretical tools. (automatic translation)

Description

Mobility Planning is a course designed around the environmental, economic, territorial and social issues associated with mobility today. Beyond transportation, mobility encompasses a whole range of phenomena and realities that interact and change constantly. This implies political choices over time, which are at the heart of planning issues. Over the course of 5 weeks and with the participation of a large number of contributors, the course offers theoretical elements, tools, techniques and practical examples that will enable you to undertake a mobility planning approach. This MOOC is the product of a collaboration between two research laboratories: the Urban Sociology Laboratory at EPFL and the Aménagement Economie Transport Laboratory at ENTPE, University of Lyon.

Description

Learn about magnetic resonance, from the physical principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to the basic concepts of image reconstruction (MRI).

Description

Learn how principles of basic science are integrated into major biomedical imaging modalities and the different techniques used, such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), ultrasounds and positron emission tomography (PET).

Description

In the current global context of rapid urbanization, population growth, climate change and biodiversity degradation, developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects has never been more important. The public sector and private sector and first-and-foremost the way they interact are critical for the planning, procuring, financing and implementing sustainable infrastructure systems. However, several prevailing obstacles hinder these stakeholders from developing infrastructure that is sustainable and resilient.

The Swiss energy transition / Energiewende in der Schweiz (automatic translation)

Description

The first MOOC to provide an extensive introduction to synchrotron and XFEL facilities and associated techniques and applications.

Description

This course is organized into two parts presenting the theoretical and practical foundations of geographic information systems (GIS). Together theses courses constitute an introduction to GIS and require no prior knowledge. By following this introduction to GIS you will quickly acquire the basic knowledge required to create spatial databases and produce high-quality maps and cartographic representations. This is a practical course and is based on free, open-source software, including QGIS. If you study or work in the fields of land management or the analysis of geographically distributed objects such as land use planning, biology, public health, ecology, or energy, then this course is for you!
